Abstract

Abstract: The flourishing development of emerging electromechanical applications has stimulated an urgent demand for ferroelectric ceramics with high piezoelectric properties and broad temperature usage range. However, it remains a challenge to simultaneously obtain good piezoelectricity and reliable temperature stability in lead zirconate titanate (PZT)-based piezoelectric ceramics. To solve this issue, a synergetic strategy was proposed to introduce lead vacancies through niobium doping and construct morphotropic phase boundary (MPB). In this work, Pb_0.905Ba_0.085(V_Pb″)_0.01[(Zr_xTi₁_-x)_0.98Nb_0.02]O₃ (PBZTN-x) material system was designed. Good comprehensive properties (d₃₃ = 864 pC/N, k_p = 84%, T_C = 201 °C) and excellent temperature stability (less than 10% variation of electrical properties from 20 °C to 160 °C) were obtained in PBZTN-0.540 ceramics. Good piezoelectricity can be attributed to high extrinsic contribution (domain wall motion) induced by Pb²⁺ vacancies and the existence of nano-domains emerged at MPB, while excellent temperature stability is mainly attributed to the minimized local stress in the lattice and the stable domain structure.
